$text =~ s/\t//g;

That removes all tabs from $text.  Please see perlop.pod and perlre.pod
(using Shuck, or man perlop / man perlre / perldoc perlman / perldoc perlre
on Unix) for more information about s/// and /g and the special escape
sequence \t.  Also check out Mastering Regular Expressions by Jeffrey
Friedl, published by O'Reilly.
